    It does seem to have a bit of a problem
    You can see that a service would have done some good at some stage to detect this, but it looks like something else contributed to it too? a leak, even a small one over time? that went unnoticed due to the lack of service..
    Hard to see how it was producing much heat?

    edit or maybe thats why the owner called for it to be checked?

    My theory is Problem was a very blocked never before serviced , burner and/or injectors , sooted up the heat exchanger . Caused poc's to flood the combustion chamber , creating condensation which rotted everything . there was no leaks on heat exchanger and system was holding pressure , also flue was intact and in decent condition. Customer only rang in because it stopped working due to the fan blowing the fuse on the Pcb. Otherwise they might never have bothered. Also I might add the viewing glass had fallen off the front cover , so boiler was no longer room sealed . Can only imagine the levels of CO that it was spewing out .
